Hello witsend. Sorry to hear you are having trouble. :slight_frown:
Grateful for the detail description of the problem, your OS details and the troubleshooting steps.
Is there a security system that could be blocking Dropbox from starting? An antivirus, a firewall, or a proxy that could be causing Dropbox not to load at all? :thinking:
